In just over a week from now I'm going to be doing my first Ragnar Relay race. My teammates and I will be running almost 200 miles (OMG!!!) from Breckenridge to Aspen, Colorado. The scenery is going to be gorgeous but very hilly.
If you've never heard of Ragnar, each team consists of 12 people who each run three legs of the race. Our race starts Friday morning and we'll probably get done sometime Saturday afternoon. This means that we'll be running around the clock!
I've never done anything like this and wasn't planning on doing it, but my friends had a teammate drop out at the last minute, so they asked me to fill in. I'm super-excited, but nervous and a tiny bit scared too...especially since I haven't been training for this!
Oh yeah, did I mention that we are going to be running in costume?!?!?!? I'll be sure to post a full report on the race with pictures of my fabulous team once we're done...and I can move again, maybe after sleeping for 48 hours.
Has anyone out there run one of these? Is this totally crazy? Wait, don't answer that. I think I already know the answer.

This sounds nuts. You must be really fit to run that much! Good for you and have fun.
I did one! It was a BLAST! You're going to have so much fun! It definitely is the hardest running in the middle of the night, but it was a cool experience and I would totally do it again! You're going to be awesome!
